Chicken nuggets is a popular snack. To achieve the desired quality, the frozen nuggets
need to be immersed in 2.0 kg of cooking oil at 130 "C. The deep-frying pan is placed
over an electric induction stove of power rating of 1500 W. Assume no heat loss to the
pan and the surroundings.
The specmc heat capacity of cooking oil is 2000 J/(kg"C) while the specific heat capacity
of the frozen nuggets is 3500 J/(kg'C).

(a) (i) Explain what is meant by power rating of 1500 W.

(ii) Given that the initial temperature of the cooking oil is 25 'C, determine how
long it would take for the cooking oil to be ready for the first batch of nuggets.

Fig. 13.3 shows an air fryer that cooks by circulating hot air around the food. A grill
heats up the air and a fan circulates the hot air around the food at high speeds.
